Girls I am hoping the best for you on Oct 1 and Oct 3

AFM- Just plugging along.. Uneventful right now for me and I am loving it. I have no pregnancy symptoms still other than a growing belly. I had to give up and switch to maternity pants for sure. I just have my regular check ups now with OB every 2 weeks and an ultrasound 1x per month.
My family is amazing and gifted us with all the furnishings for the nursery! We were told to pick what we wanted and give mom and dad the bill. I didn’t waste anytime haha. So far I have their cribs, mattresses, stroller, changing tables, and car seats. Now if I can only pick the shade of pink to paint the rooms!

Are you planning separate rooms right from the beginning? We were going to have them share a room for a long time. We have enough bedrooms for them to each have their own but thought they would want to be together. Hasn't even thought separate rooms but now you have me wondering?

Sekky and ever the 2ww is the hardest of the whole process isn't it.

I am really torn too. We have rooms for each of them but since they are both girls and I am afraid of separating them and upsetting their worlds we might actually end up with both cribs in one room and the other room as a play room or something. I think we might play it by ear because if we have one sleeper and one not I don’t think I want to put them side by side and have them but screaming if I don’t have to….. It’s really hard to plan what to do when there are 2!! akk

Sekky and Ever - keeping everything crossed for you both!! This is the toughest part of the journey in my opinion. Hang in there!

 

[Mells54]

Brandy, you sure are ahead of the game. We know we will be moving shortly after the twins arrive, so we don't plan on doing much in the way of decorating until we get to our new home. I did find furniture I like, so that part of the battle s over...just have to order. But since we have family coming to town, they will be staying in the guest room, which will become the berserk we are holding off for now.

 

[~Brandy~]

Mells- I am an obsessive planner Its debilitating sometimes!

I had a wish list with everything on in with boy and girl colors for the whole 4 years that we were trying lol. Once we found out the genders I just took off the boy stuff. So it wasnt tough.

Turkey where have you been? Hope MS hasn't started kicking your butts yet?

Ha!!! Not yet Sekky!!! Thanks for thinking of me!! I'm still living in a surreal suspended state of reality, and on top of that we're in the thick of a soup-to-nuts kitchen renovation, so I've been distracted to say the least. And tonight was back-to-school night! Just got on bnb for the first time since I got my big news!

Can't believe you transferred 3!!! I'm soooooooo excited for you!!! Are you feeling any telltale signs??

[Anxiously]

Hi ladies how's everyone doing? Just want to pop in and say hi sekky and ever I'm waiting anxiously for your OTD!

Turkey, my my my! Twins! Looks like X'mas came early!

Ali, I'm so excited for u about the recent happy turn of events. As always, it's so exciting to be starting a new cycle soon. I'll be stalking your progress!

Hey all the pregnant ladies! About to enjoy your 2nd trimester eh?

Hope you'll have a great day ahead!

 

[MoBaby]

Is 2nd tri at 13 weeks? That's when I was calling it lol tomorrow for me!

 

[FirstTry]

Is 2nd tri at 13 weeks? That's when I was calling it lol tomorrow for me!

Yeah, it's confusing. My OB said 12 weeks. Either way, you're there

 

[MoBaby]

Yay!!

 

[~Brandy~]

Yep I am second trimester and super happy!

Hope everyone is well

 

[sekky]

Yay for 2nd trimester blue, brandy and Mo. That's a huge milestone ladies

 

[Lucie73821]

Congrats to those ladies entering 2nd tri!

Ladies, I need a bit of reassurance. Had my first monitoring apt this morning and now I'm worried. There were 5 follies on my right (I believe she measured 2 but missed their measurements) and I have 8 on my left (I believe she measured 3 or 4 and they were all at 5mm). The NP made a comment about how last cycle in dec I was slow to respond too. When she called this afternoon with my e2 level though, she said it was only 5! They are keeping my meds the same and I go back in Monday.

Now I'm on the same protocol as last time, 2 vials of menopur and 150iu of follistim. I also am taking femara for the first 5 days of stims. Last cycle after 12 days if stimming I ended up with 26 mature eggs.

Dh is trying to convince me not to freak out. That at the same thing happened last cycle (except they never told me what my e2 level was) and we ended up with a great number of eggs. But I'm just so scared. Is there anything I could be doing (other than taking the meds of course) to promote follie growth?

 

[MoBaby]

That e2 is low. I would have thought your dose would have increased but I'm not a re so idk what the right answer is. My e2 was 23 one cycle and we stayed the same and I still got a bunch of eggs. But the clinic knows what they are doing so just go with it. Was was your antral count this time? My antral count always matched up with what we retrieved even when the e2 was low. Nothing you can do right now other than the meds you are on to stimulate follicle growth. Maybe increasing the dosage would promote some growth. I think you'll be okay

 

[Mells54]

Welcome to the second tri ladies!

Lucie, I too agree your e2 sounds low, but if the RE isn't worried then you shouldn't be either. I used a heating pad each evening for about a half hour and that really. Helped my response the second time around. Good luck!

Acupuncture is said to help... If you dont mind more needles lol

I found it really relaxing though I did it for 3 months prior to ivf.
